Any guys here attending the MBN Muslim Wedding Expo event this Saturday in Chicago? As a girl, I have been to a similar event last year and the ratio was overly skewed with 70% girls to 30% guys. So hoping this one is better balanced. I did not notice a single guy from consulting that time.

There’s a larger pressure on women to settle down than there is for men. Women will try method to get married including going to those events, whereas men don’t participate in those things until they’ve decided they need to settle down with a Muslim. Many Muslim men date non Muslims

This makes me wanna see if there are more muslim girls in the US or is it just not an event that men would attend.

Brown is the new black 🤷🏻‍♀️

More than half (56%) of Muslims in the US are male, compared to 44% who are female. We need to analyze why they are not at that event lol

Please keep me posted on your findings. Thanks!

Were most of the women hijabi?

Yes, definitely mixed

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
